Now that's just a list of stuff that you may not want to read, so here's a look at some of the more interesting additions from this list.

Music Updates

Multiple updates have been made to the music devices.

• First of all, Music works now. In the Voidborn Finale, Music didn't play at all.
• Music from Sioux Falls Roulette has been added.
• Music Disabler has been added to turn off music.

New Obstacles

A bunch of new objects have been added to the Obstacles Tab.

• Turrets have been added. They turn and fire at the player. Angled Turrets just fire in their current direction.
• Floating Spikes and Spiked Spinners have been added from The Reaper. Extra ways to make levels harder I guess.
• Disc Floors. These things caused me pain. The idea was simple: A floor that spins and moves the player with it. A 5 minute addition. It did not take 5 minutes. It took all day. For one object. Hope it's worth it.

Lives System

A new mechanic: The Lives System. Gives players a limited number of deaths before they lose the level.

• Lives Enabler and Disabler - In the functions tab these enable and disable the Lives System entirely. You start with 3 lives.
• Lives - Regular and Golden hearts have been added, they add 1 and 3 lives respectively.

Character Swappers

A big mechanic here: The Character Swapper.

• It's one object, but it's kinda major. It allows you to switch the player type currently being used. This means you can have a Top-Down level and swap to a platformer. Or just change what platformer type or something like that.

Objectives Update

Lastly, but not least, some updates to the Objectives Tab. 

• Crystals from You're Doomed have special functionality now, they end the game if all are collected.
• All objects that end the game + rock have been put into the Objectives Tab.
• This gives players 3 different ways to end their level: Collecting all Crystals, Collecting Toxic Core, or getting to the Zero Egg.

When will these updates be in a playable form? I dunno, when I make another game with this game.
